Can you be pregnant and have a short heavy period?

Im a little worried I might be pregnant... Im not sure though and its too early to take a test... the thing is my last period was really weird.. It was really really heavy for 4 days... then just stopped... I felt fine, but now like what 2 weeks later Im experiencing what they call the implanation bleeding... because of the color and little amount... I dont feel sick though... although now Im feeling a little bloated.... I havent really been able to sleep either at night... but my question is Can you be pregnant and have a short heavy period? I just think its weird im (spotting a week or so after my period?... Should I take a test or wait? Keep in mind I am 25 years old... no kids so this would be my first...

    yes you can have implantation bleeding,no worries though. implantation bleeding seems like a period but is a brownish color when it starts instead of bright red.

    lol sorry i just now read the expanation of the question and you already mentioned that.

    well i had the same exact thing as you around the 14th week and i had a missed abo(abortion) which means it couldnt survive and died and the pregnancy was self terminated.

    but yes spotting is very normal and implantation bleeding isnt always fatal to the growth or well being of the baby.

    if you are excessively worrying you will over excert the fear in your mind and you will be convinced somethings wrong when everythings really perfectly fine.

    just take a deep breath,dont stress and if the problem persists for more than 3 or 4 weeks go see your pediatrician and if you dont have one stop by at a local as a drop in. or contact your doctor and he/she can set something up.

    and also alot of times a person can be so worried they are pregnant they will actual have themselves convinced they are and will have perseisted bloating and odd pelvic feelings and etc all from worry,its just you and your body phyching yourself out.

    i sugest setting up an appointment to have bloodwork done with your doctor.

    (a blood test is 100% accurate and can tell you if your pregnant within 10 days of fertilization,well 7-12 days after conception. (A blood test is a serum test that measures the exact amount of human chorionic gonadotropin "hCG" in the bloodstream (pregnancy hormone) of a woman to detect pregnancy.hCG is a hormone that is produced by the placenta of a pregnant woman.)
